Am I the only developer who is afraid that he won't have a job in 5 years?

Opus 5.5 is good at motion graphics. Opus 5.5 + Tesseract is professional grade. Below was made in one shot and is entirely editable. 1600+ layers and 3700+ animations.

I've been a little sad the last couple of days. Mediabunny's first, longest and most loyal sponsor, Gling, stopped their gold sponsorship of Mediabunny this week. Their CTO @yonatanbd left the company, and they're now restructuring their efforts and cutting costs where they can. An understandable move from their part, and it's got nothing to do with me. I'm deeply grateful for the years of Yonatan's support; he alone was the basically the reason Mediabunny even got started and he supported me through its development for half a year before I released the version to the public. Thanks to his encouragement and financial support (as well as the support of @konstipaulus), I had the courage the quit my job back then and to focus on building cool media stuff for the web full time! On the financial side, I'd be lying if I said losing a gold sponsor doesn't hurt. It does, a little. I'm still alright though! GitHub Sponsorships are my main way of making a living at the moment. If you or your company have gotten considerable value from Mediabunny, consider a donation! I'm sure your logo would look beautiful on the Mediabunny home page ;) I'm working on super cool upcoming stuff that I haven't shared yet, and I'd love to keep working on it. People still haven't experienced the true power of web-based media processing!

I did the same mistake (overabstraction) twice in a row now. For a project of mine, I needed both shared-memory multithreading and SIMD operations in JavaScript, and these felt like gaps in the ecosystem so I built both of them as standalone libraries. I even announced them on X, how foolish of me! They both fell short when actually using them in a real project. The shared memory JavaScript was hard to reason about (classic), and the SIMD library worked well for standalone operations but didn't compose well. Or well, it did compose well, but the composition would underperform. I now dropped both efforts and added only what my project needed. Complexity is way down and any design is immediately reality-checked against the true constraints of the project. I still think libraries here are absolutely possible, and I have many ideas about how to make the SIMD library work well, but it's a lot of time I'd invest into something that isn't a priority for me right now.

Best part of AI is shattering dev's egos, the worst part of this industry. You are not special. Your code actually sucked like everybody else's. You were never the smartest person. The things my sales guy BIL and designer brother are doing is beyond anything I have done.

Prompt 3: Create a Lottie animation from the SVG path in github.com/JaceThings/SF-Hel…. Reveal the path with an animation that follows the natural path direction. Apply a premium apple themed gradient to the path. Use ease-in-out timing, a transparent background, and preserve the original SVG geometry.
